– New Expectations –
Customer habits and expectations have changed with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to McKinsey, 75% of people that tried a digital channel for the first time will continue to use it when things go back to normal.
Thanks to this, customers’ expectations on what constitutes the bare minimum in experience for certain channels has changed, and they will prefer companies that fulfill their expectations and bring value to their interactions.
2021 will mark a year of transition, and this is our chance to create the future we want
The most important challenges in the coming months will be:
The effective integration of new channels and broadening their scope
Post-pandemic, it is expected to see growth of up to 90% in the use of digital channels in all sectors. Due to their accessibility and flexibility, digital channels are here to stay. Knowing how to create a comprehensive and cohesive omni-channel strategy will be a key differentiator.
Maintaining customer loyalty
80% of consumers have changed brands or the way they shop. Digital channels have increased the options to acquire practically any product or service. Only the companies that offer the best service and experience have real possibilities of creating long-lasting, valuable relationships with their customers.
